pytest-redislite 0.1.0

Pytest plugin for testing code using Redis

pytest-redislite

pytest-redislite -- Is a simple pytest plugin to help you test your projects using Redis.

Features

• Automatically starts/ends Redis for your tests using Redislite
• Flash Redis Database between tests automatically

Requirements

• python >= 3.7

Installation

pytest-redislite should be installed using pip:

pip install pytest-redislite

Usage

When installed the plugin provides the fixture: redis_url

    def test_code_with_redis(redis_url):
        from redis import Redis

        redis_client = Redis.from_url(redis_url)
        redis_client.set('key', 'value')
        assert redis_client.get('key', 'value')

When you are using the fixture Redis server will be started and finished after your tests.

Configuration

The plugins support pytest command line options:

• --redis-path: Specify a path to Redis Database file
• --redis-socket-path: Specify a path to Redis Socket

as well as pytest ini options:

• redis_path: Specify a path to Redis Database file
• redis_socket_path: Specify a path to Redis Socket

Fixtures

The plugin provides the fixtures:

• redis_server (session scope) provides an instance of redislite.Redis. The fixture manages the server's lifetime (start, shutdown).
• redis_url (session scope) Starts redislite server and provides the server's socket address.
• redis_factory (session scope) a context manager to start/shutdown redislite server.

Auto flush data between tests

By default the plugin erases all data in Redis between tests. If you would like to change the behaviour define the fixture:

    @pytest.fixture
    def redis_autoflash():
        return False

You may define it for a module or whole tests session.
